Improvement in medical compounds



UNITED STATES PATENT OEEIoE.

THOMAS P. OHILDS, on TROY, OHIO.

IMPROVEMENT IN MEDICAL COMPOUNDS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 202,231, dated April 9, 1878; application filed January 24, 1878.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, THOMAS P. (lumps, of Troy, in the State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Medical Compounds, of which the following is a specification:

The nature-of my invention consists in a medical compound for inhaling purposes, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

This compound is composed of the following ingredients, and in about the following proportions, viz: Balsam of tolu, six ounces; balsam of fir, five ounces; balsam of copaiba, three ounces; white-pine gum, eight ounces; oil of hemlock, seven and a half ounces alcohol, one gallon.

The various ingredients are all placed in the alcohol until thoroughly dissolved, when it is ready for use. It is to be used with an ordinary inhaler, and is intended for use in all diseases of the nasal passages and the respiratory organs, such as catarrh, ozena, cronp,

asthma, cold, loss of taste or smell, sneezing, coughs, lassitude, influenza, headache, and bronchial and lung troubles, &c.

1 do not confine myself to the exact proportions of the ingredients above mentioned, as

they may, perhaps, be varied without departing from my invention.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The within-described medical compound, consisting of balsam of tolu, balsam of fir, balsam of copaiba, white-pine gum, oil of hemlock, and alcohol, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I affix my signature inpresence of two witnesses.
